Ok.
So moving on from there, would it be a fair statement to say that you would agree that political correctness has, at least on certain occasions, had a negative influence over certain events? If the answer to this question is yes, then at least we might be able to agree that there is a point of contact, however small, between the opposing views in this thread.
With reference to Basil, I agree that he has made a number of faux pas in his posts and it is fair for you to highlight them. That said, in the interests of allowing this discussion to progress, I believe it is largely irrelevant if he himself has not provided you with any examples to back up what you term as being the "outright paranoia of this thread" if others have filled in for him with sourced evidence. I think you do your own position a disservice by seemingly choosing to ignore evidence that ostensibly contradicts your legitimate point of view.
